The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A hyperactive pixel-art loot-spray where you zoom through hordes of enemies, constantly upgrading gear for bigger numbers and flashier screen-clearing effects.

What players say

Players praise the deep character builds and free respecs, but note the difficulty curve is lopsided and the story is thin. The pixel art is often called ugly yet the gameplay hooks players for dozens of hours, with full co-op and an automated loot filter making it easy to dive in.
